Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies keep your cart together, remember your preferences and help us measure and improve the store. Here is what we use on zepski.com, and how to manage it.
1. Types of Cookies on This Site
We group our cookies into four categories:
- Essential (always on): Shopify cookies that run the cart, checkout, login and security, such as cart, _shopify_s, _shopify_y, _secure_session_id, secure_customer_sig.
- Functional: remember your currency, language and dismissed banners (localization, keep_alive).
- Performance and analytics: Shopify analytics and Google Analytics cookies (_shopify_sa_p, _landing_page, _ga, _gid) that show us which pages work and which do not, in aggregated form.
- Marketing: pixels and cookies from Meta and Google (_fbp, _gcl_au) that measure our ads and personalise the ones you see elsewhere; you can opt out at any time.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others stay for a set period (persistent cookies). "First-party" cookies are set by zepski.com; "third-party" cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics and advertising platforms. We also use similar technologies — pixels, local storage and SDKs — which this policy treats in the same way.
3. Our Partners
The third parties that may set cookies on zepski.com are Shopify (platform and analytics), Shopify Payments (powered by Stripe) and the payment methods you select (checkout security), Google (Analytics and Ads), Meta (Facebook/Instagram pixel), and the apps we use for reviews, tracking and email. Each processes the data under its own privacy policy; we do not control their cookies, but we only allow them for the purposes described here.
4. How Long Cookies Last
Most of our cookies are short-lived — the cart and session cookies expire when your browsing session ends or after a few hours. Analytics and advertising cookies persist for up to 13 months so that returning visits can be measured; they are not extended beyond that without a new visit. All cookies can be removed at any time from your browser.
5. How to Control Cookies
You are in control. Everyone can manage cookies in the browser (settings → privacy) — note that disabling essential cookies breaks the cart and checkout. To stop targeted advertising, use the controls on the Cookie preferences page, turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser (we treat it as an opt-out), or use optout.aboutads.info. Google offers a browser add-on to block Google Analytics.
